"Do you think he'll show?" Hoopa asked.
"I don't know." Lucina said. "I really hope he does."
The two were standing outside of the town as the rain poured down on them.
I hate this weather Hoopa thought. Perhaps I could summon Ho-oh. Nah, she's still mad at me. You don't invite her to one party than she hates you!
"By the way." Lucina said. "You and Shulk are on kitchen duty tonight."
"Cool." Hoopa said. Damnit! Do I really have to share the spotlight? Oh well, it could be worse. Besides I owe Lucy for saving me from King Fatso.
"Man" Lucina said. "They sure are taking their time."
"Maybe they're not coming." Hoopa said.
"EXCUSE ME!" a voice boomed.
The two turned around to see four cloaked figures walking up to them.
"Forgive me." The leader said. "We must wear these cloaks. If Darkrai where to catch us… I fear to think what would happen."
"It's alright." Lucina said. "Allow me to-"
"Lu-Lucina!' the man stumbled in shock. "What are you doing here?"
What the. Does he know her?
"I'm sorry. Have we met?" Lucina asked.
"N-no." The man stumbled. "You aren't the first admin are you?"
Lucina nodded. "Yup that's me! The small one is my retainer Hoopa. My other retainer had a… issue he had to take care of."
"Wait a second…" One of the cloaked figures said. "HOOPA? What are you doing here?"
Ahhh… she must be the goddess. "Severing my liege." Hoopa said. "As if that wasn't obvious."
The figure turned to Lucina. "You trusted HOOPA to be your retainer? You seem like an interesting person! I can't wait to get to know you!"
"Anyways." The man said. "We should get inside."
"Very well then." Lucina said. "Do you think you can handle this?"
Good question. Hoopa thought to himself. Everyone got pretty freaked out by Impa's corpse. Not me of course. As someone who plays corpse party every night and watches Akame ga Kill for fun, I was used to all of it. But these people. Ha! They'll pass out just like Lucario!
All of the cloaked figures nodded.
"Good." Lucina said. "Be ready. What your about to see is not pretty."
Ten minutes later…
"Come on." Lucina said opening the door to the police office. "You didn't eat before this did you?"
"I did!" one of the cloaked figures said while raising his hand.
"Well then…" Lucina said. "Try to keep it in your stomach."
So where going to the police station huh. Hoopa thought I haven't been in there yet. OOOHHH I bet the corpses look really cool!
Lucina opened the doors giving everyone a look inside.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" one of the clothed figures screamed.
"WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT!" another one screamed.
"Ew." The final one said.
Hoopa peeked inside to see the dead bodies of two men. Both had all of their teeth pried out, their noses torn out and like Impa their organs had been splatted everywhere.
"Well…" the leader said. "I definitely did not expect that." He turned to Lucina. "Are you OK with all of this? I can give you a hug if you want."
"You have got to be kidding me." Lucina said while walking inside. The others followed her nervously as if they expected something even worse to take place. "Are you trying to marry me as well?"
"WHA-NO!" First exclaimed. "Did someone try?"
"Yup." Lucina said. "Two people actually. One trapped me in a fireball and the other put his hands all over me."
"WHAT!" First screamed rather loudly. "HOW DARE THEY! OH… WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THEM…"
"Calm down!" one of the retainers screamed. "I know she's your daughter and all but sheesh! Calm down a little!"
"Wait a second." Lucina said. "What did you just say?"
The retainer grabbed his mouth. "No-nothing! Yeah that's right! Did I say anything! NOPE NOT ME!"
"It's alright." First said. "She was going to find out eventually." He ripped out his cloak to reveal a man with dark blue hair and a strange brand on his shoulder.
Lucina gasped. "F-father? Is that you?"
"Wha- your Lucy's father?" Hoopa asked.
The man nodded. "My name is Chrom in case you didn't know."
Lucina's blue eyes where wide with shock. "Father!" she exclaimed while running up to give him a hug. Chrom wrapped his arms around her is well. "I can't believe it's really you." She sobbed. "Wait a second…" she let go of the hugging embrace. "Why are you serving someone as awful as Galaxia Knight?"
Chrom winced. "Well, you see.-" He stammered.
One of his guards took off her hood to reveal a green haired girl with long pale green hair, a brown headset and a blue bead strapped to her forehead. "I can explain." She said.
Hoopa felt a surge of shock. "Melo-MELOETTA?" he cried. "What are you doing here?"
"Supporting my lord." Meloetta said. "Anyways-"
"WAIT A SECOND!" one of the other hooded figures screamed. "Can we take of these dorky hoods now?"
The other hooded figure cringed. "You do realize you're interrupting Meloetta when she's trying to share SOMETHING IMPORTANT EVEN WE DON'T KNOW!"
"Sorry." The man said.
Chrom turned around. "It's ok." He smiled. "Take them off. I want my daughter to meet you. After that if you don't mind I'm also going to introduce you to my son, my wife and Fredrick."
"Are you sure that's necessary! " The girl cried.
"AND THE CLOAK IS OFF!" the man said tearing off his cloak, which landed on top of the mangled corpses. He had orange hair and black and orange fighting amour. A lance sat on his back. "MAN am I happy to disown that stupid cloak! I missed myself so much."
The girl slapped her head. "ARE YOU CRAZY!" she screamed. "IS THAT REALLY HOW YOU WANT TO PRESENT YOURSELF TO OUR BOSS'S DAUGHTER?"
"Is there something wrong with it?" The man asked. "I mean come on! Who wouldn't be honored to meet me!" the man held out his hand and Lucina took it. "Hello there. The names Reyn. Nice to meet you and your fuzzball of a retainer."
"HEY!" Hoopa screamed. How DARE he talk to me that way! Does he want me to send him to another dimension?
The girl grabbed off her hood to reveal a young women with long blue hair and blue eyes. Her hair was pulled back with two yellow hairpins and out of nowhere a penguin-like creature spring next to her.
"Piplup!" The creature screamed.
Wait a second… Hoopa thought. That's a Piplup. So this girl is a pokemon trainer. She better not throw a poke ball at me. Or even worse a master ball.
"Forgive my co-worker." The girl said bowing her head. "He can be quite- loud sometimes." She smiled. "My name is Dawn. This is my partner Piplup."
"Pip-Piplup!" Piplup said climbing onto Dawn's shoulder
Lucina smiled. "Nice to meet you. So you've been keeping my father safe?"
Both of them nodded.
"Thank you." Lucina said. She turned to Reyn. "I feel like I've heard you're name before. Are you a celebrity?"
"YES!" Reyn shouted. He smirked. "I am all of that and more! But look out! No one is safe when Reyn Time hits!"
Meloetta covered her ears. "Anyways" she shrived. "Back on topic. You see-"she suddenly froze.
"WELL!" Hoopa screamed. "Why did you stop?"
Meloetta held up her shaking head. "Did the blood on the walls just… move?"
Everyone turned around. She's right. Hoopa thought in horror. How can that be?
All of a sudden a violin began to play an eerie tune.
"Wha-Whats going on?" Dawn asked sounding scared.
"I think I know." Chrom said grabbing out his sword. He turned to Lucina. "Stay back."
"No." Lucina said. "I'm tired of being useless. I will protect everyone."
The music stopped as the blood became a silhouette and the two dead police officers began to rise.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Reyn exclaimed getting out his lance.
"When the devil is too busy." They both sang in unison in a voice that belonged to Darkrai. "And deaths a bit too much. They call on me by name you see, for my special touch! To the gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune. To the ladies I'm Sir Prize. But call me by any name. Any way it's all the same."
They continued to sing as Darkrai stepped out from the wall. She smiled with pure delight. "Well, well. Hello traitors! Am I ruining the party?"
"D-d-DARKRAI!" Chrom screamed in horror. "How did you find us?"
"Oh it was easy." Darkrai said. "I just listened to the sound of pure and utter betrayal and followed that!"
"Did you get that from Tangled?" Meloetta asked. Behind her both Dawn and Reyn looked terrified.
"So what if I did?" Darkrai said. "What did you think of that little musical number? Creepy right!"
"A little note about Darkrai" Hoopa whispered to Lucina. "She's a huge theater nerd and she loves doing musical numbers, especial if there from Disney. Strangely enough this song isn't in a musical or a Disney movie"
"Creepy." Dawn said. Piplup opened its beak.
"Don't try to attack me." Darkrai said. "It won't have any effect."
"Listen." Chrom said. "I-can I leave. I w-want to be with my daughter."
"No." Darkrai said with a smile. "Remember the deal? You give Galaxia Knight your undying loyalty and I won't murder your entire family."
"WHAT!" Lucina, Hoopa, Reyn and Dawn all screamed at once.
"FATHER!" Lucina screamed. "Is that true?"
"You didn't!" Dawn cried. "You couldn't! You're supposed to be good!"
"That just shows how messed up you are." Hoopa hissed. "I mean really! What nerve!"
"Wait a second…" Reyn said his face turning pale. "Is that why Dunban's following you?"
Darkrai nodded. "It's how I got all of my followers. You mortals are so interesting. Why do you value the people you love so much? They'll all die in the end anyways so why do you keep them close and do anything for them? It's so pathetic."
"You-YOU MONSTER!" Reyn screamed while shooting Darkrai. She used physic to reflect it back but Reyn ran out of the way at the last second. "JUST WAIT UNTILL THE REST OF MY FRIENDS FIND OUT ABOUT THIS!" he roared. "BUT FOR NOW… get ready. YOU'RE ABOUT TO EXPERINCE THE WORST REYN TIME IN THE HISTORY OF REYN TIMES!"
"Is that a book?" Darkrai asked looking bored.
"No" Reyn hissed. "But it is a good idea. I should really write that. The Reyn Time history book. Yeah I-"
"Anyways." Darkrai said. "As I was going to say. There is one way I will let you go."
Lucina grabbed out her blade. "List your demands." She snarled.
Darkrai held up three fingers. "I have three demands!" she declared. "Demand number one, I want you to tell me how you killed Pyrrhon."
"Aright." Lucina said. "I have… a retainer who can kill gods. But you should already know that."
"WHAT!" Dawn shrieked. "How… how is that even possible?"
"It is possible." Reyn mused. "My best friend did it once." He turned to Darkrai. "What's going to happen to us?"
"I'm kicking you three out of the army" Darkrai said. "I will tell everyone you turned traitor and ruin your reputation."
"Al-alright." Dawn said. "I didn't really have any friends there anyways."
"That's ok." Reyn hissed. "But just know. I will kill you one day."
"Reyn." Meloetta said stepping in front of him. "Don't take it too far."
"Fine" he snarled. "Did you know?"
Meloetta nodded. "I only knew about Chrom. I tried to tell you but-"
"ANYWAYS!" Darkrai said. "Demand number two! How did you know where Prryhon was?"
Lucina winced.
"Do it." Hoopa said. "They were bound to find out one day."
"Alright." Lucina said. "A villager told us the location of the tomb. That's the truth."
She's lying. Smart move.
"Alright then. DEMAND NUMBER THREE!"
She fell for it! Hoopa thought with glee. Sucker!
Darkrai handed Lucina a tape. "Watch this while eating. If you aren't eating, or you don't watch it, the tape will release an extremely poisonous toxin that will kill you all."
Lucina took it nervously. "Alright. I'll watch it."
"Oh." Darkrai said with a smile. "Did I mention all of you here have to watch it?"
Meloetta turned around. "Raise your hand if you're willing to watch it."
Everyone raised their hand.
Meloetta smiled. "Guess that settles that."
Lucina peered at the tape. "Let's see, so it's called Two Girls One Cup? Alright. It can't be that bad."
"Now." Chrom said. "Leave! Let me be!"
"Alright then" Darkrai said with a smile as she vanished into a pool of dark matter.
Meloetta let out a shiver. "Well I guess that's that! I'm so happy, I could just sing! In fact!" She danced a little bit then opened her mouth again. "ワタシは、歌うのがスキ ワタシがそう作られたからじゃない この声をスキだという アナタが歓んでくれるか"she sang"
"Wow." Lucina breathed. "She's amazing!"
"Agreed 100%" Chrom said. "That song is called electric angel."
Hearing Meloetta sing gave Hoopa a since of hope.
Maybe we can get through this. Maybe we can win.
Listen to the two songs here!
